Our Recommendations
Where to eat and places to visit!

Places to eat
(all are dog friendly!)

We highly Recommend the Crown Pub, They also offer West Point Guests 10% off! In the Summer they have a lovely pub garden to enjoy a nice pub meal and a cool beverage. They are very popular so we do recommend to book in advance if you wish to dine

The Roundhouse hub and Cafe is located on Biggar Bank and has beautiful panoramic views of the shore. There is also a park for the kids! On a clear day you can see Isle of Man and Blackcombe. (Open 10 - 4 most days)

Tavs Burger van! - Only a 5 minute walk away, they serve hot and cold food and has plenty of picnics benches outside. Popular with Bikers!

The nearest Convenience shop is on Mill Lane. 10 minute walk from here and has all the essentials. On the Island there is also a Small Tesco and Coop.

Places to Visit

Earnse Bay Beach is a small sand and shingle beach. It is only a 10 minute walk away! Perfect place to take your dog for walk. It also has plenty of rock pools to explore with the kids. This beach is popular with windsurfing also and in the evening is a perfect spot to watch the sunset

From Earnse Bay. If you walk along the beach in front of the static caravans. This takes you to the North Walney Nature Reserve! There is a circular walk which takes an hour 30 to walk. There's lovely views towards BlackCombe and is perfect for bird watching. It is also a habitat for the Natterjack Toads!
